drywall joint paper tape roll holder

thingiverse

So I was working on drywall joint taping projects and quickly got fed up with having to put down the roll of drywall joint paper tape every time. This led to another opportunity to make something useful. Print Settings Printer: Flash-forge Dreamer Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: .27 Infill: 10% Notes: I printed the base flat against the heat bed with the shaft standing upright. I used the auto supports feature of the Flash print software from Flash-forge. The end stop was simply printed flat and it was done on the lowest resolution with only 5% fill. This part has no stress when the paper roll is added to the shaft. It twists on with a simple quarter turn. The unrolling motion of the tape keeps it in place. After some use, I started feeling annoyed by the roll of joint paper tape coming undone when I leaned forward, so I made a bigger end stop and that solved the problem.
